Re: ***New Premier 3-15x50mm Hunter/Light Tactical***
Got my Light Tactical a couple of weeks ago from CST but was leaving for the family vacation the next day so just now getting to actually use it at the range.
I sold my full size PR Heritage 3X15 with Gen II XR reticle to replace it with this scope (too large) and I am not disappointed with the decision. Glass is everything the full size Heritage is and in a more slimmed down package more suitable for my hunting rifle. This time round, I opted for the standard Gen II reticle as I found the XR lines were a little too fine for my eyes.
The only feature that I miss is the zero feature on the original. The Light Tactical uses a VERY TINY allen head tool which is easy to misplace. The procedure however is very simple. If possible, I would have preferred that the tool was the standard one used for most scope screws only because every tool box has one (or ten) of them.
Haven't done an actual box test yet but I suspect it will perform flawlessly.
Just FYI, as noted above, it does come with the PR lens covers which are great, but if you ask them, they will also sell you the Scope Coat with the "Premier" logo on it which is provided with the Hunter model. I think I paid about $15 bucks for it but that price may vary a little. I think I caught them off-guard by asking for one so they had to scramble a bit to figure out the cost but they came through for me. I like to use the coat to protect the exterior when not in actual use.
My thanks to Paul at PR and all the rest of the staff for the great support they have provided me. I visited the PR facility on several occasions to watch the progress on the development and the production of both the Hunter and the Light Tactical scopes (only because I live just a few miles from them) and can verify that PR listens to customers comments and applies suggestions to the design and production of their products (within reason of course).
